we was arranged to sit at the indoor corner, but then we request to move and dine at the garden since today's weather is quite nice with breezy wind 

appetizer corner ~ mostly in Spanish style with minority western choice of salads
all of them are very tempting....have to control ourselves otherwise we are all stuffed only with the appetizer
and missed the more variety out there.

My Honeymoon Diary : In a City within A City


Good Morning Vienna!

The first itinerary of the day will be the Vienna's most popular tourist destination
Schönbrunn complex
attended by 2,467,000 visitors in 2009. Wow!!

Early in the morning we are here at the entrance of the Imperial Apartments to avoid crowds.


The Imperial Palace acoomodated the Habsburg royals for over six centuries (1282-1918), during which time the Hofburg complex developed into one of the great power-houses of Europe.


Marionetten Theater
is this the one we keep finding and asking at the city of Prague 2 days ago????
Really hubby make a research mistaken in his itinerary?
haha...answer to be reveal later!

Sculptures at the entrance...just like our 门神....在打怪兽!

The grand staircase going up will start the journey of Imperial Apartments. And also the journey we risking our life to take the following pictures which are strictly prohibited!

1400 rooms in the imperial, the first six rooms form the Sisi Museum, where a host of artifacts (poems, recipes, dresses, toiletries, portraits, jewelry and so forth) offer a fascinating insight into the tragic empress's private life.

Traditional costumes is displayed in the waiting room of Franz Josef.

I was scared by the blue alien at the opposite window of the waiting room. Its not a human! dunno what is that they put it there to scare people!


Audio guide is available free of charge to explain the function of each room in the apartment.

Its the painting of the royal wedding

entertainment room





world map

Portraits of Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Sisi

Home Office



The Royal Toilet

powder room



Portraits of the Royal Family member



super large bed can fit 4 persons!!!

Family Dining room...but Empress Sisi was seldom attended dinner at the Dining room because she always wanna be on diet to keep her nice body figure.


the royal was big collector of chinese antiques

music hall where Mozart was once invited to perform to the royal at here!

the grand ballroom

collection of chinese antiques was preciously kept


any corner of the aparments was chinese antiques...

can see that how much they appreciate it by decorating most of the rooms in the apartment with the chinese antiques

put everything on the way like the wallpaper


*****

After the Imperial Apartment....now only we found something to eat. Its bread again! haha

my sausage bun with mustard and tomato sauce

View from Great Parterre towards Gloriette


Schönbrunn Palace, view from Neptune well.

The Gloriette

Built in 1775 as the last building constructed in the garden was used as a dining hall and festival hall as well as a breakfast room for emperor Franz Joseph I. The Gloriette today houses a cafe and gives the visitor a view of the city.

Inscription on the Gloriette in Vienna


no idea what is this...a Royal swimming pool??

At the observation platform of the Gloriette overlooking Vienna.


The whole Schönbrunn complex with Tiergarten Schönbrunn, Palmenhause, Wustenhause and the Wagenburg. And this train can take you to any of the destination with EUR4 per ride. Its a really good service for the elderly but definitely not me..haha

I enjoy walking under the sun with the cool breeze on my face...towards the Tiergarten Schonbrunn ~ the zoo in the palace gardens that claims to be the oldest in the world!
